1. Wintershoven Marker
Voorheen 'Sophia's hoeve', gebouwd in 1883. Boerderij van het voerdeeltype. De eerste steen werd gelegd door Johannes van Klooster. Het voorhuis en de achterliggende stallen zijn halfsteens opgetrokken. Het zomerhuis is later gebouwd. Het zomerhuis is in steens metselwerk, dat luxer is dan halfsteens. De grote hoge deuren aan de linkerzijde gaven voorheen toegang tot de wagenberging. Achter de wagenberging bevond zich de paardenstal. Het voor- en zomerhuis hebben beiden windveren, maar elk in een andere stijl. Mooi ensemble met de naastgelegen, enkele jaren jongere 'Anthoniushoeve: Rijksmonument sinds 2003, gerestaureerd in 2004/2005.
Wintershoven
Formerly 'Sophia's farm', built in 1883. Farmstead of the feedlot type. The first stone was laid by Johannes van Klooster. The front house and the stables behind it are made of half-brick. The summer house was built later. The summer house is of stone masonry, which is more luxurious than half-brick. The large high doors on the left previously provided access to the car shed.

Source of inspiration for artists: The ensemble of the two farms Antoniushoeve and Wintershoven is irreplaceable as archetypes of the Dutch farm in a peat meadow area. Both farms and the seventeen others that Duivendrecht once had, inspired Rembrandt, Mondriaan, and also Jacob Olie in their respective painting and photography. Duivendrecht was a lively and colorful ribbon settlement, which stretched along the Rijksstraatweg to Abcoude.(Submitted on November 22, 2023.)
